A & B Appliance Repair

I had yellowish flames coming from all the burners on the stove. Repairman showed up and said he can do nothing to adjust the stove and I should contact the Gas company and have them inspect. I paid the 35.00 dollar service fee and scheduled an appointment for an inspection with the SoCalGas. SoCalGas did the inspection and said there is nothing wrong and the yellowish flames in the morning is OK. Lesson I learned is to give make and model of appliance before letting A&B come to home.

A&B is a complete ripoff. They charge a flat rate fee of $ 250 to repair anything on an appliance as you can see in the other reviews. The tech replaced one (1) sensor on our dryer that retails for $ 7.38 (free s/​h from Amazon) and was here for less than 15 minutes. Advertised a military discount in the Yellow Pages which is why we called them. They arrive and turns out only active military. Nevermind the 23 years of service my father served. By far the biggest ripoff I have ever experienced.

This morning I called another appliance repair company (to come fix my screeching dryer– It was working but made a high pitched sound) and they were closed so I left them a voicemail. I didn’t hear back for a while so I called A & B because I needed someone to fix my dryer as soon as possible. While waiting for the repairman to get here, the other company called me back and told me to check with them after I got the estimate from A & B, because they were notorious for giving outrageous estimates. The A & B repairman quoted me $ 250. While he was here, I called the other company and they laughed out loud. I paid the $ 30 service charge to A & B and a few hours later I had someone else come fix my dryer for $ 101. The description of the problem from the A & B repair man was complete nonsense and vague, and the guy from the other company showed me the simple, single part that needed to be replaced. Sigh. I’m not sure how this company is still in business.

i called A & B appliance repair for my refridgerator and they did the best job ever, and saved me alot of money, they were very friendly & knowledgable & I highly reccomend this company.

I was very displeased with this company. They came to fix my oven and gave me an un itemized invoice for $ 500.00. The service tech was there for exactly one hour. He replaced two igniters. I contacted the oven maker and found that a factory pack of two igniters cost $ 39.95. They charged me $ 460.00 for one hour of labor. I called the owner Bill, to ask if a mistake was made. He said that is what we charge and no adjustment will be made. I’ve never heard of any serviceman in any industry charging such a price for one hour of work. That is in the attorney range! I feel cheated and will never use them again. Be careful.

I had an A&B Appliance repair person come to my house to look at my ice maker since it was freezing up and there was ice all over. I wanted it fixed fearing that it might do damage to the refrigerator, however, while the repairman was very pleasant, the price was absurd. They advertise discounts for military and senior citizens, but make sure you are over 65 and active duty because they do not mention that in their ad. $ 250 to replace an ice maker that I could have bought online for $ 80 and about ten minutes to remove the old one and install new one. I complained about the price, but was told that is just the way it is. I begrudgingly paid it knowing that I had to pay him $ 30 for the service call, and then would have had to go through the same thing with someone else.
If companies here wonder why people hire individuals who do not have licenses, etc., the reason is obvious. American companies, sadly, are ripping us off with these exorbitant, outlandish prices. The price should be based on how long it takes to do the job, and there is no way a ten minute job should cost $ 250, even with providing the ice maker, which I am sure it cost them a lot less than it would have cost me!

Had a wonderful experience with this company!!!
My washer went out and Sears said it would two be two weeks to come out and the part is on back order??? How would they know if they haven’t come out? But I called A&B and they came out same day on a Saturday no less!!! And had the part on hand!!! Love this company, I will only use a and b appliance repair for all my appliance needs.
